data collection

More than half of Medicaid beneficiaries now receive all or most of their care from risk-based managed care organizations (MCO), and states are rapidly expanding their reliance on risk contracting. The Medicaid Managed Care Market Tracker houses extensive information about states, MCOs, and managed care firms to support understanding and analysis of the growing Medicaid managed care market.
